Chill out at Mt Ruapehu

Mt Ruapehu will be a cool place these holidays with Whakapapa and Turoa offering plenty of fun activities.

As well as skiing and snowboarding there will be clowns, face-painting, games and a fireworks spectacular.

Kids who have never tried skiing or boarding can try Discover Skiing and Boarding packages, which include beginner lift tickets, ski or board and boot hire and a 90-minute lesson.

Activities take place in Happy Valley at Whakapapa and in the Alpine Meadow at Turoa. A yeti might also make an appearance.
